The smart fortwo is a cult car – in many respects. Celebrities such as pop star Robbie Williams are proud to be seen with it, but the innovative two-seater also cuts a fine figure in unusual roles. For example in Sweden. There it serves as a police car in some communities – naturally with a flashing blue light. Police authorities in other countries also make use of the smart fortwo's versatility.

smart fortwo models do service in various areas. In addition to the smart police car, there are other models specially designed for use by air field control and the fire brigade. And of course the Mercedes-Benz plant fire brigade in Sindelfingen has used a smart as an agile reporting and control centre vehicle since 1998. The red emergency vehicle is equipped with an alarm horn and blue flashing light and the interior features a telephone, 2-way radio and fire extinguisher.
